• Bowie, a rescue cat named after popular musician David Bowie, has achieved viral fame on Instagram because of his unique eyes.
• His owner Maria Lloret describes the cat as “sweet and sassy at the same time” on his Instagram account.

If there’s one thing the whole world can all agree on, it’s probably this: the internet loves adorable animals. This has once again been proven with the recent rise to fame of Bowie, a gorgeous rescue cat who has gotten some enormous social media love online because of his eyes’ unique color – he’s got blue and green ones.

In a Bored Panda feature, we learn that Bowie is a European Shorthair cat with the condition heterochromia. And yes, our feline friend has been named after music icon David Bowie.

According to Maria, the cat was only 3 months old when he was found by a local shelter alone in a park. Eventually, Maria’s sister spotted an ad and told her about it. They came over the shelter and it was love at first sight.

“He was obviously a beautiful cat but he was also so loving, always purring and looking for some warmth. The moment he got home, he started to eat like crazy and fell asleep in my arms,” reflected Maria on the animal’s first day with her at home.
